DENTAL ASSOCIATION.
ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
(By Telegraph —Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Tuesday.
•The annual conference of the New Zealand Dental Association has opened. Delegates are present from all parts of the Dominion.
The president, Mr. C. 11. Moses, in his opening address, stressed the importance of eating hard foods for the avoidance of dental troubles. Examination had disclosed, lie said, that 98 per cent, of school children were suffering from more or less dental decay, most of which could have been prevented by avoiding sloppy food. He particularly emphasised the value of wholemeal flour. The elimination of extra meals, he said, would tend to prevent both indigestion and decayed teeth. The cause of decay was entirely the presence of particles of food about the teeth; this harboured micro-organisms, which exuded acid which dissolved the enamel, and so started the trouble.
